Metallic eyeshadow is a key trend to watch out for in 2012.
A dramatic spectrum of colours was seen on the Dior, Galliano and Betsey Johnson catwalks. Eyes and lips reflected clashing colours, metallics and bright purples and pinks.
One of the easiest ways to wear metallic eyeshadow is to use one, such as Urban Decay, which has specks of metallic pigment rather than out-and-out shine. For those looking for a more dramatic look, Bare Escentuals have some sparkly gold and silver eye pens which can be softened for a daytime look by applying a neutral liquid shadow and brown eyeliner .
Generally, gold metallic shadow looks best on those with warmer skin colouring, while those with cooler skin tones look better with silver. Eye colour can also determine how a particular shade of metallic eyeshadow appears on a person. Metallic greens will enhance the greenish tones in hazel eyes, while metallic blues will be more effective on blue eyes.
